Sara O'Daffer 5/16/2019 7:31 PMSo cleaned out frig. Can’t say I didn’t waste food. Lost in there were gr beans, refried beans, ripe olives, rice, homemade salad dressing, & guacamole. My only excuse is that all this came about well before the foot surgery and forgotten. Now I’ll be more diligent, and soon as the weather warms we’ll start the compost.-
Jeanne Poirier 5/16/2019 8:38 PMReminds me of my mom's refrigerator - only perhaps not as bad. I used to tease her about science experiments!!. You will do better I have no doubt, #3 in Drawdown is not wasting food. And Sara, if I've not said it before - I adore your profile photo and can't wait to see two feet up, one without a boot on it! Take care!!

Sara O'Daffer 5/09/2019 8:52 PMJeanne was thinking I could change it to 5 minute showers, since I’ve not been able to shower for 10 days. i know too much information. I did change out the compost challenge but can’t remember what I changed it to.-

Sara O'Daffer 5/09/2019 12:46 PMHaven’t been able to start composting, darn. Might have to change out a challenge cuz I can’t walk in the garden with this fricken boot I’m wearing.-
Jeanne Poirier 5/09/2019 7:44 PMYou might want to pick meditation like I did instead. Easier on the foot, which has got to be awful this time of year. Take good care Sara!

Sara O'Daffer 5/07/2019 6:11 PMMerry. Don’t know how to reply to you message, but yes reading a good book by Tana French that picked out for me. Hopefully when when finished, it I’ll be able to pick out a book while at the library walking on two feet.-
Jeanne Poirier 5/08/2019 6:08 PMI've always been able to hit the "reply/pencil" icon and type a message right back.
Walking on two feet - not having a cold or other illness, oh the things we can take for granted!!
